position paper presentations

Out of all the position paper presentations that i sat through and listened to, the one that was most effective to me was the one about social networking and safety features about social networks like Facebook. It was very effective because the presenter was very calm and collected while presenting and also the ideas that he shared were solid. I also love the fact that he created a website specifically designed to help people further understand the protection they can get from social networks and how to stay safe. So I must conclude that the social networks presentation and paper was very effective to me and probably for others to come as well.

My Research Project

I've been doing my research on world racism and i have been noticing many people are joining in and trying to end this problem. A couple big groups are: United Nations, Human Rights, and the WCAR- World Conference Against Racism. There are many many members of each one of these groups but I personally am a strong believer that nobody deserves to be abused about what race they are or where they are from. I have been reading a lot about this one group in particular, the WCAR.  They have been doing this since 1997 and they have mapped out exactly what they want to happen. It was held in Durban, South Africa on the 31st of August since to September 7. The high commissioner was one of the attendees and she promised that she will make it a conference of actions not just words. So far this is most my main research about world racism.
